Conor Benn Inks Long-Term Partnership with Zuffa Boxing

Following his recent victory over former two-time world champion Regis Prograis, Conor Benn has formalized a deal with Zuffa Boxing. This partnership comes after Benn's successful collaboration with Zuffa for his last bout at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Notably, this was Benn's third consecutive fight at the stadium, preceded by two epic battles against Chris Eubank Jr. Benn initially moved up to middleweight for the Eubank fights, suffering a loss in the first bout but bouncing back with a decision victory in the rematch. After dropping down to 150lbs to face Prograis, Benn is now focused on pursuing major fights in the welterweight division. Dana White, Head of Zuffa Boxing, confirmed that Benn has joined the team on a two-and-a-half-year contract, comprising five fights. White expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, 'I like the kid personally and professionally, so we are excited about it.' Benn, who has left Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Boxing after nearly a decade, expressed his excitement about the new deal, saying, 'I am very excited to have got this deal done. They share the same vision, and they are excited for the future.' With this move, Benn aims to increase his visibility and provide the public with the fights they want, particularly now that he is in the prime of his career at 29 years old.
